When operating steam locomotives, there is always the danger of fires on the track due to cinders or flying sparks. On many railroads – mostly in the mountains – appropriate tank cars are kept with water for extinguishing fires, also on the Harz narrow gauge railways. The special thing about this car is that it is a standard gauge car, which is always loaded on a roller car in order to be moved on the narrow gauge network. This is a model of a fire extinguishing water car as used on the HSB. The paint scheme and lettering are prototypical for Era VI in the new design. The tank can be filled and emptied. The car has metal solid wheelsets. Length over the buffers 30 cm / 11-13/16“.
This fire extinguishing water car is a standard gauge car, which is always loaded on an HSB roller car in order to be moved quickly to the site of any fires. These HSB roller cars are available separately
